Personally a bit underwhelmed, Pup and DPU only ones in really excited by but excited to dig into the lineup and discover some new bands.

 

Any recommendations on where to start with Alkaline Trio? 

From Here To Infirmary > Good Mourning > Crimson 

 

In that order.

They don't really play too much off From Here To Infirmary anymore - if someone was looking to get into them with the intention of seeing them at Trees, I'd definitely suggest Good Mourning.

Well deffo won't be the Sunday 😉

haha, that old Saturday finishing lol. I think Rise Against will do it Friday and AFI Thursday but it's more out of hope as nothing that day indicates to me an undercard for AFI and nothing to say they are in Europe either. JEW could be another again but the undercard doesn't match and they won't be Friday as they played with Creeper directly under last time.

So we seemingly got the right agency that they were talking to....Alk 3 were one of the six or so bands that were possible from the roster 

AFI being one, what were the others?

 

Are Neck Deep the headliner hiding in plain sight? Makes sense they are holding them back as they have a big tour in December. Somehow, they continue to sell tickets.

 

I'm definitely in the camp that Rise Against are off the table now.

I think it was AFI, Rise Against, Frank Carter & Sex Pistols, can't remember the other

went through and listened to every band on the line up I'd not heard yet and found some new ones to enjoy; Lemonsuckr, Saturdays At Your Place, Nothing, Footballhead, Lickshot, I Am The Avalanche, Lonesome, Grandma's House, Guillotine, God Complex, Glass Bridges and IOTA are all artists I may consider seeing at the fest 

 

the band "a forest" is a new project with no released music as of yet from Matt Hughes, who usually does PR stuff and he seems to be working with some members of Arcane Roots

 

I'm also very excited about Cancer Bats, PUP, Dinosaur Pile-Up, Have Mercy, Frozemode, House Of Protection and Love Rarely

Think they bigged up the Wednesday headliner a bit much though, I like pup but are they really that much bigger than Hot Milk, Boston Manor, Bob Vylan etc 

PUP have headlined the Roundhouse in London (3,300 capacity) 

I am not aware of any of those other bands having headlined a larger UK venue

Can see AFI Friday and Sex Pistols Saturday tbf. Think AFI and Alkaline Trio would suit supporting MCR too and I think James was after some of the supports.

Website placements look like a bit of a mess at the moment, Alkaline Trio for Saturday and Superheaven and Dinosaur Pile Up listed as main stage when James just announced them as Axiom headliners on the podcast.

 

Hoping they might get updated soon so we can get start putting the clashfinder puzzle together.

 

James also described last year as a top heavy lineup, and said this one would be more balanced. Probably doesn't help spending on 5 (co)headliners. Imagine this comment might mean we don't have any massive budget busting headliners to come.

 

Fingers crossed for the next announcement! Lots to dig into this weekend.

That Neck Deep tour basically sold out instantly, no reason to hold them back. I just think Trees wants to release a headliner for each announcement. Pretty sure they do this most years and this year was more an exception

Can't see them not having a "new" or female headliner really

Everyone is listed as main stage on the website tbf (or it was when I checked yesterday morning). The website has always been a mess

Yeah good point, just checked and it was only the Wednesday bands that are all listed as Forest that are different. Just wanna know how much to get my hopes up or not with big spaces left to fill.

 

Discovered Love Rarely just now - brilliant!

Love Rarely imo are the best upcoming UK band right now alongside unpeople, definitely worth seeing them, I've managed to catch them live three times now

 

they're supporting The Callous Daoboys on their tour in February

There will be plenty of big spots left to fill, they always keep bands back to load up later announcements

Hot Milk are literally headlining the Roundhouse like, next week. Bob Vylan were doing 2k venues before they became mega famous through scandal and could probably easily do a 3k venue now. PUP are a good booking, but I wouldn't say they're much bigger than previous. They're slightly bigger at most, and some would say on a fairly equal footing.

I'm amazed he's said it, because they're who everyone will think it is, and then they'll be gutted when it's inevitably not them 

 

 

Yeh I don't actually think it's Biffy, but will once again keep dreaming. 

 

My more realistic thinking (though still optimistic) is an old school Creeper set 

 

Don't think it's Frank, think he takes a break for a year before headlining 2027 20th Anniversary

I suppose the context really is that all of those artists have become bigger since they headlined the Trees Wednesday, whereas PUP are doing it when they've already surpassed that level so James is viewing them as a bigger act in this instance, despite those other artists having caught up with PUP's UK popularity level

Any good recommendations for the Saturday please beyond the top 3?
I'm kind of out-of-touch with the heavier side of music these days and haven't heard of any of the bands playing (to my shame) and the newer upcoming bands, but my friends band are playing, so will likely grab myself a day ticket for the day! I'm normally more of a Truck Festival goer, but do like a dabble in the heavier side of things, just a bit less than I used to.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
